[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 667731, member: 1550"] If he has a neurological difference, his behavior is not a bad habit. He needed early intervention and treatment and he needed guidance on how to behave, which may or may not have helped him. It is not too late to forge a relationship with him, whether or not he is neurotypical. He has learned that you are not going to listen to him, so he doesn't talk to you, is my best guess. You can try to open up communication with him and I hope you do. Another thing is, if he is having fun, he is at an age when kids don't contact their parents all the time, although four months is a very long time. Maybe he will be open to being tested for possible neurological or psychological differences. I assume that at his age it is up to him though. I have a 22 year old with a form of autism and he is very high functioning...can talk, live alone, work part-time, socialize once he is comfortable with somebody (but often likes to do things alone a nd is very into computers, videogames and television...coomon for anyone on the spectrum. They tend to have narrow interests that are very intense). My son is very willing, even eager, to be helped and to do better. Your son does not sound rebellious. He may be very open to your suggestions and to get him too. Can't hurt to try. I am trending with IC and thinking he has Aspie traits, although, of course, we can't diagnose. Tons and tons of luck.
